My Book-a-Week Challenge

Thursday, 25 December 2014

Anyways, I feel like it is necessary to make a sort of index of my challenge,
so we can easily overview what I have read so far.

I can’t believe this challenge is actually over. I can’t believe I actually
succeeded.
So yes, this is all a bit big to me, I suppose.

So what happens next?

Well, I sure as hell am not going to continue doing this. For one, I am really
hungry for some big books. There’s a The
Complete Sherlock Holmes Stories sweetly murmuring my name every time I
pass my bookcase. And I would like to be able to reminisce again after I
finished a book instead of starting a new one immediately.

On the other hand, this blog is my baby. I’m not going to delete it, or abandon
it. Neither will I stop writing. You will probably find me on Blogger again
next year, with something new, something that’s still all about books- just not
a challenge. More of a leisure-type-thing.

About Me

Hi! Welcome to my blog. You can call me Bejoes. I'm a total Tolkien geek, but I'm also a fanatical reader in general. I like collecting Bowie vinyls, yellow teapots and shiny rocks. I also never know how to write vinyl without writing it wrong first.
